  2. Smoothness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoothness

    The C 0 function f (x) = x for x ≥ 0 and 0 otherwise. The function g (x) = x 2 sin(1/ x) for x > 0. The function : with () = ⁡ for and () = is differentiable. However, this function is not continuously differentiable.

  3. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    Because (a + 1) 2 = a, a + 1 is the unique solution of the quadratic equation x 2 + a = 0. On the other hand, the polynomial x 2 + ax + 1 is irreducible over F 4, but it splits over F 16, where it has the two roots ab and ab + a, where b is a root of x 2 + x + a in F 16. This is a special case of Artin–Schreier theory.

  4. Quadratic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    The roots of the quadratic function y = ⁠ 1 / 2x 2 − 3x + ⁠ 5 / 2 ⁠ are the places where the graph intersects the x-axis, the values x = 1 and x = 5. They can be found via the quadratic formula. In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a closed-form expression describing the solutions of a quadratic equation.

  5. Injective function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injective_function

    In mathematics, an injective function (also known as injection, or one-to-one function [1]) is a function f that maps distinct elements of its domain to distinct elements of its codomain; that is, x 1x 2 implies f(x 1) ≠ f(x 2) (equivalently by contraposition, f(x 1) = f(x 2) implies x 1 = x 2).

  6. Multiplicative inverse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_inverse

    The reciprocal function: y = 1/x.For every x except 0, y represents its multiplicative inverse. The graph forms a rectangular hyperbola.. In mathematics, a multiplicative inverse or reciprocal for a number x, denoted by 1/x or x1, is a number which when multiplied by x yields the multiplicative identity, 1.

  7. Minkowski's question-mark function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski's_question-mark...

    It is an odd function, and satisfies the functional equation ?(x + 1) = ?(x) + 1; consequently x ↦ ?(x) − x is an odd periodic function with period one. If ?(x) is irrational, then x is either algebraic of degree greater than two, or transcendental. The question-mark function has fixed points at 0, ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ and 1, and at least two more ...

  8. Binomial approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_approximation

    [1] The approximation can be proven several ways, and is closely related to the binomial theorem . By Bernoulli's inequality , the left-hand side of the approximation is greater than or equal to the right-hand side whenever x > − 1 {\displaystyle x>-1} and α ≥ 1 {\displaystyle \alpha \geq 1} .

  9. Bijection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bijection

    A bijection from the natural numbers to the integers, which maps 2n to −n and 2n − 1 to n, for n ≥ 0. For any set X, the identity function 1 X: XX, 1 X (x) = x is bijective. The function f: R → R, f(x) = 2x + 1 is bijective, since for each y there is a unique x = (y − 1)/2 such that f(x) = y.
